Perhaps seeing Bell's fatigue in the match with Swansea, Ferguson arranged Bell's rest in the fifth round of the Champions League with Benfica.

Recently, Bell has played too many games. Since the new season in mid-August, Bell has played 17 games for Manchester United in more than three months. In addition, the Welsh national team’s 6 European Cup qualifiers have played in group matches and In the play-offs, he also participated in an unstoppable game and played the game as the main force. In more than ninety days, participating in 23 high-intensity games, an average of four days a game, is a huge test for any player.

　　Of course, Ferguson decided to arrange Bell's holiday, also because Manchester United's current situation in the UEFA Champions League group stage is more favorable. As long as Manchester United scores 1 point in the fifth round of the home game against Benfica, Manchester United can ensure the group qualify. However, if you want to ensure that the group is first, you have to win Benfica at home.

In fact, it wasn’t just Bell who got the rotation this time. Manchester United’s three other generals also got the chance to get a rotation. Rooney, Sneijder and Giggs, but the situation is different for each other. Bell is directly arranged by Ferguson. However, Rooney suffered a minor injury in the last game against Swansea. Although it did not affect his appearance, Rooney also stayed at home for insurance reasons. Giggs and Sneijder were on the bench.

In the end, Ferguson discharged a 4231 starting lineup, goalkeeper De Gea, four guards were Fabio, Ferdinand, Phil Jones and Evra, Fletcher and Carrick were paired in the double back, and the avant-garde line was Nani, Ashley Young and Valencia, Berbatov served as single arrows.

　　 opened in the first half. Although Manchester United had control of the ball, it was the first to concede a goal. In the 3rd minute, Benfica played an exquisite teamwork. Gaitan took Pereira to the left of the penalty area and knocked on the left side of the penalty area. Phil Jones extended a leg to the edge of the small penalty area. The ball hit Jones' left calf and flicked into his own ball. Net, the Benfica team relies on Oolong to take the lead, which also means that the Benfica team scored four goals in the Dream Theater.

After 　　 the score fell behind, Manchester United made a big counterattack and equalized the score in the 30th minute. Ashley Young's tactical free kick crosses, Evra directly scores, Nani crosses from the left, Berbatov throws his head at 8 meters and hits the goal into the bottom right corner of the goal. The cool brother broke 37 months. The UEFA Champions League goal came short, and this is also the 50th goal scored by Berbatov for Manchester United.

　　 In the first half of the match, Manchester United and Benfica team drew 1:1 and entered the halftime break.

　　 After entering the second half, Manchester United at home took the lead and scored a goal in the 59th minute. Berbatov received Valencia's pass and was destroyed. Evra got the ball on the left and made a precise pass. Fletcher inserted the shot and was blocked by Artur. Fletcher immediately inserted a close-range right foot and shot The empty goal helped Manchester United lead the way.

　　 But Manchester United's anti-playing fire was evenly tied by Benfica. In the 60th minute, Phil Jones returned to the goalkeeper on the right from the backcourt. De Gea opened the big foot and was directly cut off by Cesar. Cesar passed a pass and hit Ferdinand in front of the goal. Aimar shot in front of the goalkeeper. The score was rewritten as 2:2.

　　When the whistle at the end of the match blew, Manchester United had to accept the result of being tied at home.

　　………………

Although the Red Devils, who scored 1 point, advanced to the knockout round as expected, the group's first position was still unable to be locked, because in another game in the same group, Basel visited Lectra Galka Steel 3:2 and the points were also Reached 8 points. If Manchester United lost to Switzerland in the last round, they will be squeezed by Basel to the group second. Because in the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Basel tied Manchester United at Old Trafford. Under the same points, they will rank first in the group due to their mutual record.

　　 Of course, that is based on the fact that Benfica cannot defeat Galati Steel in the final round. Once Benfika successfully wins Galati Steel, the situation in Group C will be very complicated.

　　 After the 5 rounds of group stage, the situation of Group C is as follows:

　　 Manchester United 3 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses, scored 12 goals and lost 6 goals, 6 goal difference, with 11 points ranked first;

　　Benfica scored 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, scored 7 goals and lost 5 goals to 2 goal difference, with 8 points ranked second;

　　 Basel 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, scored 9 goals and lost 9 goals, 0 goal difference, ranked 8th with 8 points;

　　 Galati Steel lost 5 straight games, scored 3 goals and lost 11 goals to -8 goals, with 0 points ranked fourth.

Once Manchester United lost to Basel in the final round, and Benfica won Galati Steel at home, then Manchester United, Basel and Benfica are all 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss and 11 points. Manchester United has a 1 win and 1 draw advantage over Benfica, and a draw and 1 loss against Basel is at a disadvantage, but Basel's mutual record against Benfica is also 1 draw and 1 loss at a disadvantage, which forms a cycle or a knot.

　　 In this way, there will be a situation where the exit rules must be determined by the exit rules!

At present, Manchester United have 1 win, 1 draw, 4 goals, 3 goals and 1 goal difference against Benfica. Benfica have 1 win, 1 draw, 3 goals, 1 goal difference, and 2 goals against Basel. It was a draw and each of them scored 3 goals.

　　 As a result, Benfica's goal difference in the three-team cycle has been determined to be one.

If in the final round against Basel, Manchester United lost 1 goal away, then fortunately, the three teams of Manchester United's goal difference is 0, Basel is -1, Manchester United can also advance, even by virtue of Benfica The mutual record advantage can also rank first in the group.

　　 However, if Manchester United loses 2 goals or more on the road, it will be directly out of the goal difference!

　　 And, if you lose, will you lose 1 or 2 or more, who can guarantee?

　　 So, anyway, as long as Manchester United lose in the final round, it will be a very dangerous situation!

　　 In other words, in the final round of the group stage away from Basel, Manchester United will face a situation that cannot be lost? Or is it a battle of life and death?

　　Emmmmm...... It seems that something is wrong?

　　………………

　　 Soon, the Manchester United people discovered that they were happy early!

　　Although they are currently ranked first in the group and lead the group by 2 points, they still failed to lock the group qualification!

　　 Even, half a month later, when they were visiting Switzerland, they had to face a qualifying battle!

　　 Ferguson regretted not taking Bell, even on the bench, so that he can choose to replace Bell in the second half.

　　Even if you don't bring Bell, it's okay to put Rooney on the list. Although the little fat man is a little hurt, it doesn't affect the battle. And although that guy doesn't have a reliable Bell, after all, he is the team's second shooter, which is more reliable than others in the team.

　　Bell was dumbfounded at the news. Is the situation currently facing Manchester United different from another time and space?

　　 Indeed, from the point of view, it is 2 more points, but there is no use, and Manchester United still have to face a **** battle in Basel.

　　 And Manchester United fans almost rioted, what kind of planes are Nima players doing? Faced with the three worst opponents, has it fallen into the final round of decisive battle?

　　Where did Manchester United advance two rounds earlier last season?

　　 Then, the Manchester United players suffered, especially the defensive players.

　　 After all, as far as offense is concerned, Manchester United has not regressed this season. Manchester United scored 11 goals in the first 5 rounds of last year and has scored 12 goals in the first 5 rounds of this year, so this pot must be defended by players.

　　 Last season's Manchester United, almost created the history of the Champions League. If it was not the last round of the group stage was scored by Valencia, it will create a magical record of all six rounds of the group stage.

Just one year later, the Red Devils’ iron wall continued to collapse. Except for two rounds of the bottom fish and Galati Steel, they lost points in the remaining three games, and Old Trafford lost 5 in 3 games. ball.

　　 Why did the Manchester United Line suddenly leak like a dam break?

Sinners are easy to find. The most obvious is Phil Jones~lightnovelpub.net~ Ferguson insisted that Fabio play in the Champions League, even if it was changed to the right, Jones, whose position was "robbed", was changed to the middle, but the local red star He made a mistake as soon as he opened the game. Gaitan shot a small angle on the right rib of the penalty area. The ball hit Evra and it seemed that Jones, who was mentally unprepared, was extremely amateur. The center of gravity was not controlled at all. The feet are easy to make mistakes, and really hit the ball directly into the team's gate.

　　 Perhaps it was the Oolong ball that affected the emotions, and Jones was also blasted again and again by opponents. In the 25th minute, Real Madrid veteran Harvey Garcia grabbed the header before him, but it was a little high. After 5 minutes, Jones missed Aimar, who was suddenly plugged in. If De Gea saved a single-handed opportunity for his remedy, Jones' nightmare score would increase even more.

Ferdinand wasn't much better. The second goal conceded was that Manchester United's two central defenders took turns in error. Jones didn't get the ball on the wing. The Spanish goalkeeper drove the ball directly to Bruno Cesar. After the Brazil international broke through the penalty area, Ferdinand went back to the goal to block the ball and did not drive far. Aimar then scored from a close range.

Although De Gea’s responsibility is not small, but Jones will be fine if he kicks the ball out, and Ferdinand’s attention is not enough, and he has been retreating all the way. Get the ball.

　　Facts have proved that Vidic and Jones cannot be used in rotation. Jones and Ferdinand are not at the same time. Once the two of them are in the middle of the road, Ferguson will commit sin. Earlier, Basel scored three goals at home, and it was the two of them who stood in the center. In the five rounds of the group stage, the two of them matched the two games, but almost buried the group's first name.
